New evacuation order for Khan Younis covers part of area designated a humanitarian zone by IDF
The Israeli military has ordered Palestinians to leave a number of neighbourhoods in the southern city of Khan Younis, including areas that had been designated by the military as part of a humanitarian zone.
Palestinian civil defence in the territory estimated that 400,000 people sheltering in the city were affected by the order, which includes the eastern part of Al Mawasi, a sandy strip of land without infrastructure where Palestinians have sought shelter in tent encampments in recent months.
